If there is one thing that we really look forward to in Western New York and Southern Ontario is a good show, event, or concert. So far in 2023, there is no shortage of great events for us to check out this year, with shows from the likes of Kevin Hart, Patti Labelle, Pitbull, and more having already come to Buffalo. Along with several other shows en route for later this summer like 50 Cent, Post Malone, Ludacris, KC & The Sunshine Band, and more.

Buffalo, New York is 372.5 miles from New York City. That fact’s relevant not only when making travel plans but in examining the career of Buffalo’s own Conway the Machine. Over the last decade-plus, Conway has operated close enough to the rap capitol to add to its prestige and bolster its traditions.

A similar dynamic rests at the heart of his latest, Won’t He Do It.

Summer is two weeks away, technically. Let's be honest though...summer is here. It's after Memorial Day, the calendar says June, and the temperatures are in the 70's.
